Sprinkle cabbage with salt and pepper.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, flip once, until just tender.

3️⃣ Add Burgers
Season ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Form into patties sized to fit cabbage rounds.
Place patties on top of cabbage.

4️⃣ Bake
Return to oven and bake 15–18 minutes, or until burgers reach desired doneness.

5️⃣ Cheese (Optional)
Add cheese slices during the last 2–3 minutes of baking.

6️⃣ Serve Hot
